After college, I don't think I ever wrote a "program" in the traditional sense and they were always "code" infrastructure, automation, etc. ... as I was a systems/OS/Network geek ... l don't do Windows or applications
.
Systems Programmer ... that was a generic description of my former bleeding edge IT career ... I wore a bunch of different pointy dunce caps the whole time... lots of flavors ... rarely wrote any code ... but I "could" ... and sometimes "did". I could "program" with the best of the best, but knew "programming" wasn't gonna be my career .... taking Fortran 101 back in '78
Microcode at IBM (Advanced Communications R&D at RTP) fresh outta college ... just the beginning of my IT stories ...
I programmed a bit over my career ... but it was just "necessary stuff" ... to get something done... from bit manipulation to automating huge data centers ... I lived it ... then ...
I quit
